Chapter 15 Operational Planning

"We've got to go down!" Chen Qiusheng grabbed him, "The water in the inner canal is going to be full, and if you don't go down, it will be flooded here!"

"No!" Gu Yaozhi pointed to the big waves that were getting closer and closer, "We will be washed down at the top of the stairs, and we will have to go to the attic to escape!" Quick!"

He couldn't help but say, pulling Chen Qiusheng and running quickly to the attic. Chen Qiusheng turned his head to look at the big waves, the rising waves were close at hand, and the strong whistling sound revealed a daunting pressure.

Chen Qiusheng immediately ran briskly with his wet robe, and Gu Yaozhi followed closely behind. The roar of the waves seemed to make the air tremble, and their ears were momentarily deaf and slightly buzzing.

On the silent dam, Chen Qiusheng rushed to the gate of the attic and soon rushed to the gate of the attic. He pulled open the door, the buzzing in his ears still echoing, he couldn't even hear his own breathing, and he nervously turned his head sideways and shouted, "Haruka! Get in on here!"

No one answered him, and he couldn't hear anything but the deaf buzz.

What he saw was Gu Yaozhi falling on the bluestone ground, struggling to support the ground, trying to stand up.

Chen Qiusheng looked sideways at the huge waves, which showed a pitch-black dark blue under the starry night, and completely blocked everything in his sight.

He turned his head to look at Gu Yaozhi in horror, and shouted in front of the silent waves: "Gu Yaozhi !!"

Gu Yaozhi looked up at Chen Qiusheng as if he had a feeling, then supported the ground with one hand, raised the other hand and waved fiercely, and shouted in a broken voice: "Come in!!

Buzzing, the tremor in his ears became more and more intense, but vaguely, Chen Qiusheng had already faintly heard Gu Yaozhi's voice.

The huge wave has arrived, as if a pair of ruthless hands have covered the dam, and it looks like it is about to crash down!

The wind was howling, and Gu Yaozhi knelt on the ground and hugged himself.

A hat was blown high by the wind and flew into the distance, and the rain wet the hair. In the gradually waking up hearing, Gu Yaozhi listened to the violent roar of the huge waves slowly getting louder and louder. At the same time, there was the sound of anxious footsteps that sounded a little and a little in the storm.

Da, da, da.

He looked up in shock, but he didn't see what was happening. A warm body suddenly embraced him beneath the waves and protected him beneath him.

"You're not good at running horses." Chen Qiusheng's voice seemed to appear in Gu Yaozhi's ears for the first time, "I have no choice but to walk with you."

Gu Yaozhi suddenly tightened his sleeves when he heard this, but Chen Qiusheng grabbed his hand and said in a deep voice, "Hold on to my hand."

The ten fingers were slowly clasped, as if they were not separated. The soft temperature drove away the cold, Gu Yaozhi didn't say anything, and then closed his eyes, but his body was not trembling.

Rumble!

The huge waves overturned, the pavilions on the dam were scattered in a blink of an eye, the wood was washed down to the dam, and the water flowed along the sand canal like a backfill, and the supporting bamboo strips seemed to expand horizontally, slowly shrinking in the sloping water and sand.

"Hold up the ......" After the flood passed, Bing Cao raised his eyes in the heavy rain to look at the bamboo strip shelf, and after he was momentarily stunned, he suddenly shouted with joy, "The bamboo strip held !!"

The soldiers all jumped to their feet, some raising their arms and shouting, celebrating the moment of escape from death.

"Your Excellency." As if coming back to his senses, he shouted in horror, "The two adults are still up there!"

He hurried around the bamboo strips, ran up the slope of the sand, and waited for the dam to look around anxiously.

The dam was empty, and the broken branches were pushed by the current and rolled to the feet of Hyosho, and he glanced around nervously, shouting anxiously, "Your Excellency!!"

No one answered, only the whirring wind carried his shouts into the distance, and he stood in the torrential rain and looked at the infinite expanse of the ocean, panting heavily.

At this moment, a hat suddenly fell from somewhere in the sky, and in the midst of the swaying, it landed on the wall of the dam and stopped.

Bing Cao's eyes shrank suddenly, he stepped forward to pick up the hat and looked at it, and then muttered sadly, "Your Excellency, ......"

Raindrops dripped down his chin, and the chill sent a chill down the cheeks

war, but the chill in my heart is deep and piercing.

The rain was too cold.

The rain will not stop.

The gates of the city were wide open, and the desert sky in summer was splashed with a thin layer of frost and rain.

Most of the soldiers of the new army in the west of the city were not born in the north, and when they first arrived at Manhongguan, many of them were lying on the bunk and wailing because they were not accustomed to the water and soil. And now in the summer, the warm weather and sunshine did not come, but it rained white frost, and the group of people who were suddenly frozen couldn't stop shivering.

During the years when Zhen Yi was in charge of the Red Pass, most of the recruits had to go through five months of arduous training, and were led by experienced scouts and veterans to learn before they could go out of the fortress to carry out their missions.

But the current situation is different, Emperor Jingcheng has not sent a new general to lead since he killed Zhen Yi, so Liang Fenghou, who was only a lieutenant in name, temporarily replaced the position of commander due to the rank of the commander, and this generation is four years.

Today, because of the invasion of the Canadians, the Marquis of Liang Fenghou took the lead in leading the army out of the fortress to fight, and the affairs responsible for planning and arranging should fall to Liu Shuoyun.

Coupled with the passage of the conscription order, most veterans still unloaded their armor and returned to the field even if they were reluctant. Naturally, major changes had to be made in the manpower arrangement for the expedition. This means that this group of recruits must embark on the road to the iron-blooded battlefield in advance.

"When you are not wearing armor, you are all good people of my Great Zheng Kingdom." Liu Shuoyun stood on the drum platform and looked around at the shivering recruits below, "Now that the country is in danger, it is the responsibility of the husband. The front line is tight, and the five major battalions have been fighting day after day, and their personnel must be replenished. I can't leave you here. Ladies and gentlemen, there is not much to say. Liu is not a martial artist, and he can't hold the sword to save the country, so he can only congratulate you here, win the flag, and return safely. Beat the drums!"

As soon as the words fell, two sturdy men walked up to the drum ring with their heads bare-chested, with red scarves tied on their heads, and drum hammers. The hammer of the drum was held high and struck the leather drum, and the solemn roar was shocking.

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

In the sound of drums, Liu Shuoyun bowed down and shouted solemnly: "Raise the flag!"

A banner with black sails was held high, and the black bear, dressed in dark black armor, turned over and got on his horse first, he looked around at the recruits, and roared: "Get on the horse!!

The recruits all rolled over their horses and immediately looked neatly at the black bear to meet his fierce eyes.

"As soon as you get out of the red level, you will no longer be a recruit!" The black bear's gaze slowly scanned the faces of the recruits, "You are soldiers, you are armor, and you are the shields that guard the red gates. And outside." The black bear snapped his horsewhip, "There are Cana people there, their spears are so sharp that they can easily pierce your chest, are you afraid?!"

The recruits raised their heads and shouted.

"Don't be afraid !!"

"What should I do if I meet a Cana?!"

Suddenly, the sound of popping rang out one after another, and a group of recruits drew their swords and raised them high, roaring hoarsely.

"Kill!"

"Drive!" The black bear pulled the reins and rode his horse to run in front of the formation, shouting, "Disobedient, kill!" Coward, kill! Runaways, kill! Surrender, kill! Under siege." He pulled the reins hard, and the horse stopped the horse's hooves and stood up, "Kill!"

The recruits gritted their teeth and shook into the sky.

"Huha!!

The drums thundered, gradually increasing and accelerating. In the midst of the roaring drums, the black bear waved his hand and shouted, "Go!"

The horses marched in rows, and countless horses' hooves sounded like rolling thunder, trampling on the wet and sticky sand, and moving in unison.

The black bear took the lead and ran out of the gates. A group of iron horsemen followed, speeding towards the vast and far-reaching desert!

The thin frost and rain were falling down, Liu Shuoyun couldn't bow down for a long time, he listened to the sound of iron hooves in the distance, and then walked towards the study in the attic under the escort of the guards.

He followed the same steps, his steps were heavy as if he had been injected with lead, and when he reached the door of the study, he did not push the door open, but his eyebrows squeezed in the struggle.

After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, inhaled deeply, and pushed with his big hand

The door and walked in.

The air in the room was filled with the smell of wine, and an old man with a pale beard, draped in a thin robe, sat on a wooden slump in a bohemian manner.

He hooked his fingers in the ear, raised his head slightly, and poured it, the wine hitting his yellowed teeth, and the old man squinted and swallowed in enjoyment.

"I have respected Mr. Shi's order and ordered the recruits to go out to fight." Liu Shuoyun saluted respectfully, "Sir, students are eager to learn. Please also ask the old gentleman to teach me how to keep the Red Pass."

The old man glanced sideways, kept the wine jug in his hand held high, and waited for a long time to drink the half pot of Mo You, then put it down freely, and said, "Corporal Liu Wei Shi Lixian, the old man must know everything, and he will say everything. Sit down."

The old man had a deep scar on his chest, and the scabbing lines were extremely annoying. His countenance has been more intensely vicissitudes in the past four years. And his name was remembered by Liu Shuoyun when he first arrived at Manhongguan.

Shi Danxin.

"The front-line battle report from the feudal marquis, from a formal point of view, is extremely tight." Liu Shuoyun took off his shoes and knelt on the floor, "The 100,000 Cana army gathered in the atrium, and the 50,000 troops who went forward were all killed. According to the Eagle War Report of the Shensha Battalion, the Canadians are constantly transporting baggage and manpower. Moreover, it is said that there were more than 100,000 new Cana warriors, and the march was much faster."

"The old man has heard a little about this, and for some reason, the old man also knows a little." Shi Danxin turned the flask, "These Canadians have taken a kind of stone powder from the ground of the right court, which is why they make their bodies different from ordinary people, and speed up the march."

Liu Shuoyun asked in surprise, "Stone powder?"

"Yes, this stone is called the Afterlife Stone, and taking the stone powder scraped off it can change the body and reshape the bones." Shi Dan took a sip of wine greedily, "The Demon Dao among the Cana people wants to use the Death Stone to reincarnate all the Cana people, so that they can conquer the desert as soon as possible."

"There are such strange things...... Liu Shuoyun pointed his index finger at the light wooden case, and immediately raised his head, "The student is ignorant, how did the old gentleman learn about such a secret?"

Shi Danxin clapped his palms and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Hai Yu and Dong Tian walked in with their aprons wrapped around their waists, followed by a young man with a slow pace.
